Tear of Land is a virtual instrument by Three-Body Technology that captures the authentic sound of the traditional Chinese wind instrument, the Xun. The Xun is an ancient Chinese vessel flute with a history of about seven thousand years, typically made of ceramic in an egg or pear shape, featuring a single top hole and several finger holes on the sides. Historically used in ritual music, its playing was interrupted in the 19th and 20th centuries but revived in the 1980s by archaeologists and musicians. Today, it is often used in historical and dark-themed music.

Key Features:

• Customizable Sound Field: Recorded with five microphones placed in different positions to capture room acoustics and reverberation, mixed into four channels with adjustable volume in the user interface.
• Authentic Performance Techniques: Allows various playing techniques such as mordent, finger cracking, trills, tremolo, vibrato, staccato, and glissando, all controllable directly from the interface.
• Realistic Expressions: Includes realistically recorded articulations that can be freely controlled, with MIDI CC support for pitch changes mimicking real Xun performances.
• Glissando: Features three different speeds of real glissando samples and sample synthesis techniques to perform glissando at any adjustable speed.
